Clinical Trials Solution

A unified medical platform

Project Background

Our customer is a service and IT consultant for institutions and organizations conducting clinical trials and biomedical studies across America. Sibers was asked to develop a platform that combined the functionalities of medical data capture, biological samples, associated data storage and retrieval, and clinical trial management.

Solution

To date, this is the biggest undertaking Sibers has ever been involved with. It required 56,000 man-hours of development and 14 of our top ASP.NET engineers.

The system consists of eight applications. Each is able to work autonomously, and all feature user roles and rights. Here’s a list of their specific functions:

Financial Module, for invoice planning and statistics about visits and procedures (gathered from the EDC)

The system’s core objective is to ensure collaboration between multiple institutions and to provide a sufficient number of samples and relevant medical data for statistically meaningful studies. The system supports barcodes, and enables ad hoc sample searches based on clinical and phenotypic information.

Tech highlights

.NET Framework

ASP.NET

Ajax, DevExpress

Microsoft SQL Server

NHibernate

Results

Through the extensive research of solutions required for this project, Sibers expanded its knowledge of medical and pharmaceutical industry standards so greatly that our project team felt confident providing design advice on patient record data collection and Good Clinical Practice (an international standard) third-party compliance.

Separation of specimens and data, ensured by the system’s architecture, provides flexible association between the two. Even if a sample’s complete data set hasn’t been captured, specimens can still be registered and used — an extremely useful feature when studying rare diseases.

The finished platform is FDA-certified, complies with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and is currently deployed in several hospitals and labs across the US.

Customer Says

Thanks to all the team! The last finalized and released module looked very good. We already can have the customer to start entering data for the trials, and then analyze the results. Thanks again for all your hard work. (April 2011)

Filmr: World's Most Intuitive Mobile Video Editor

This classy project’s customers are two professional surfers — twin brothers from Brazil. Having loved surfing since they were kids, one sunny day they began capturing their runs on camera.

Twenty years later, in 2016, the brothers decided to create a video editing app of their own — not just for personal reasons, but also because it was a good chance to ride the wave of video content’s rising popularity, which incidentally is still rising as it replaces static images.

Work approach

Custom remote team

It is a software development outsourcing approach whereby the provider, after developing a deep understanding of the customer’s specific needs, forms a hand-picked team of developers, managers, testers and designers whose skill-set is a perfect match with those needs.

Platforms

Windows

Through the combination of varied development platforms and expertise was born the Desktop Software Development team. This crack squad’s abilities entail development for almost every popular operating system, including Mac OS X, Windows, Unix, and Unix-like systems such as Linux, Ubuntu and FreeBSD, together with cross-platform software development. Also, this team is highly trained in the complex field of embedded software development.
